A custom 'estimate' field is not shown on issue-edit, even it should appear according to 'admin-helper'

A custom field, named "Dev estimate", which is based on the "Original estimate" type of field, was assigned to the "story" issue. It was also associated with the "Story [create or Edit]" screen (field is marked with v).
_In spite of the above_, when opening a story for edit (or creating a new story) - this field is not shown.
Running the 'Admin helper' plugin to check "Where is my field" leads to a positive result (3 green v marks) - "The 'Dev Estimate' field should be present on the form you are viewing".
So why can't I see this field? what other reason can prevent it from being visible during edit?

You say "which is based on the original estimate type of field" - that implies you're using a custom field plugin to provide the "dev estimate" field. Is that true? If it's not, then can you tell us what type of field "dev estimate" is?
